What type of statistical analysis is this?
The effects of one of more variables are held constant in a statistical analysis. The results may the be compared to the uncontrolled relationship between the two variables to clarify further overall relationships.
EX. We might test the effects of prejudice on education with age held constant.
a. Partial regression analysis
b. Multiple regression analysis
c. Inferential statistics
d. Statistical significance
a. correct. Partial regression analysis. In Babbie " a form of regression analysis in which the effects of one or more variables are held constant, similar to the logic of elaboration model" (458.)
b. incorrect. Multiple regression analysis. In Babbie " A form of statistical analysis that seeks the equation representing the impact of two or more independent variables on a single dependent variable" (458.)
c. incorrect. Inferential statistics. Has nothing to do with the question. It is when "the statistical measures used for making inferences from findings based on sample observations to a larger population" (460.)
d. incorrect. Statistical significance. Has nothing to do with question either. it is a "general term referring to the likelihood that the relationships observed in a sample could be attributed to sample error alone" (461.)
